Umbilical arterial (UA) Doppler assessment is used in surveillance of fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal umbilical artery Doppler is a marker of uteroplacental insufficiency and consequent intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or suspected pre-eclampsia.
Doppler velocimetry of the uterine artery is used for screening while that of the umbilical, middle cerebral and ductus venosus are used for monitoring of high-risk fetuses. Abstracts released on the occasion of the 10th SASUOG Congress: Durban, 18-20 April 2008
